Following last Saturday’s friendly a KPR player has sustained a fractured metatarsal (“Broken Foot”)
Per the BBC Health and Fitness Website – Jon Fearn (physiotherapist at Reading Football Club)
“Boots have become very cosmetic.
Blades, for example, have been banned by some clubs and I advise against them. They make the lower limbs very vulnerable.
They are like crampons in mountaineering.
We recommend a more conical stud so if a player spins, they spin on a cylindrical point rather than having something that just grips”
